I definitely think there's some positive about him (although PG Corey Brewer is a wonderful descriptor), mostly the points you've made. Like in my mind though he more potentially becomes a Kyle Korver style player than anything else. Lockback posted:I think he has a wide range too, but I also think if his dad wasn't his dad people around here would like him a lot more and that's not fair to Lonzo as a prospect. You have by your own admission never watched him play. So why are you so convinced that there must be some other reason for the questions who people who have seen him play have?

Cuz this is a thread on somethingawful and I didn't realize there were gate keeping rules in place for having opinions? Can you post them in detail to avoid this situation in the future? If you don't think peoples opinions on his dad affects opinions on his basketball skill I am not sure what to tell you.

Can you post them in detail to avoid this situation in the future? Rick and I are the people who are most anti-Ball here, and I think both of us just think his dad is funny. I think he's doing the sleight of hand trick of waving and catching your attention while removing your watch and putting the marked card in your butt pocket. His sho'nuff master of harlem character has stopped deeper analysis of ELITE PROSPECT Lonzo Ball, which is good, because he has about 5 red flags as a player. Maybe George Karl will rejoin the NBA in 3 years and let Lonzo just run every time and we'll be wrong. I'd love to be wrong, I want more players who are good in the NBA. I'm just saying what I see. Josh Jackson's shooting is scary, and there's not a great track record for freshmen wings in the high lottery. But he improved, and if he's playing pf I think the game will come much easier to him. There are a lot of ways he should be able to contribute even if he's only a barely okay shooter, with Lonzo, it's much more difficult to say that. Rick posted:I definitely think there's some positive about him (although PG Corey Brewer is a wonderful descriptor), mostly the points you've made. Like in my mind though he more potentially becomes a Kyle Korver style player than anything else. That would be a reason to not take the suicide pill as a Laker or Sixers fan, if he's the choice.

The Finals are scheduled to go 2 weeks and 3 days. You could really only shave 2 days off by going to 1 day off btwn games 1-2 and 3-4.

Three on three basketball would be nice to watch, the court is so crowded with long armed giants, you could bring back the wheel offense and other basketball relics. You could play the ultimate triangle offense.TBeats posted:When did they start announcing the MVP so late They want to monopolize sports media for the entire month of June and then not lose out to the NFL during the moratorium week in the first week of July. This way people can say CHampion team bad, Champion team good, in the week before the awards, then MVP Bad, no MVP good, no MVP bad and good, during that empty week, instead of talking about which NFL players Looked Great in OTAs. Then, they get to keep the first week of free agency to themselves and finally cede everything to the NFL and Baseball by the middle of July.

That's it, that's all my opinion was. The fact that I am getting so much kneejerk vitriol for that is weird.

Lebron retiring means 10 more years of Celtics, which is not bad because the East never has room for more than one okay team

I strongly dislike Ball but with his size, athleticism, and college skill/stats I have a hard time comping him to anything less than an incredibly skilled guard prospect who would be a slam dunk top 3 pick in almost any draft year. Corey Brewer comparison seems ludicrous to me. As much as I want to see the schadenfreude of the Lakers dealing him to a small market team or passing on him, they would be actually insane to not draft him if Fultz goes 1.

Corey Brewer went 7th overall in what was considered a very good draft. Only 9 lottery picks still in the league 10 years later, three all stars and possible hall of camera taken above him, one guy who only busted on injuries, a productive but mediocre guy, and the Chairman. It's easy to imagine a worse career for ball than Brewer and I'm not sure he wouldn't have been ~pick 7 that year either.

If Ball sucks as bad as Corey Brewer has for his entire career he will be viewed a gigantic bust so I hope for his sake he figures it out. Corey Brewer's career is not something to aspire to unless you consider hanging on for years past your expiration date as an ideal.

True but you can think of probably 10 guys who have been worse picked in the top 5 in the last 10 years off the top of your head, guarantee. He's in the league 10 years later, unlike two guys taken above him. The odds are very high that several of the guys we are all excited about in this draft, who look like great top 10 prospects, will have worse careers than Corey Brewer. Where do you think ball would have gone in 2007?

Oh I agree with you there, Brewer has hung on much longer than could have been expected (much to chunkles' chagrin.) Sucks for those guys drafted above him. I haven't watched Ball play much so I will hold off on actually crucifying his game or predicting where he would go in 2007, I'm just saying it's scary if the #2 pick in the draft is drawing realistic in-game parallels to Corey Brewer. You do not want your #2 pick becoming Corey Brewer.
